1) Martin Truex Jr. (Starting – 2nd) New Hampshire Fantasy Spin – Martin Truex Jr. will be tough to beat at New Hampshire. “Performance Wise” I think he’s been strong enough to win the last four races at the “Magic Mile”, but problems have kept him out of victory lane. If Truex Jr. can finally […]

1) Kevin Harvick (Starting – 2nd) Dover Fantasy Spin – Kevin Harvick will be one of the drivers to beat at Dover. He’s a recent winner who’s performed at an extremely high-level even though many of his recent results don’t show it. Since 2015 he has the 2nd best driver rating, has led the most […]

1) Kyle Busch (Starting – 1st) Indy Fantasy Spin – Kyle Busch has been a super elite performer at Indianapolis and on Sunday he’ll be the favorite to win. There’s a lot of things to like about Busch this weekend. He’s starting on the pole, was dominant last year, has an impeccable track record, was extremely […]

1) Denny Hamlin (Starting – 8th) Martinsville Bottom Line – Denny Hamlin will be tough to beat at Martinsville. He’s a super-elite performer at the paper clip, and he’s won here nearly a quarter of the time (23.8% win percentage). In incident free races he’s as good of a default fantasy pick as they come. […]

Chicagoland marks the first race of NASCAR’s playoffs, The Chase. It’s “Go Time” for teams and this first race will help separate the contenders from the pretenders. Chicagoland is a good barometer for who’ll do well in the Chase. It’s a 1.5 mile track and 5 of the 10 races in the playoffs are held […]

Richmond International Raceway is the site of this week’s race, the Toyota Owners 400. This is an intermediate-looking venue but is actually considered a short track, coming in at 0.75 miles long. We should see plenty of good racing here on Saturday night–if that’s when we race. Yep, there’s more rain in the forecast this weekend. […]

1) Kevin Harvick (Starting – 5th) (Odds To Win – 9/2) Richmond Fantasy Spin – Kevin Harvick will be a good fantasy NASCAR pick to win the Richmond Toyota Owners 400. From a career perspective Richmond has proven to be one of his best tracks. One sign of positive things to come on Saturday night […]

This could turn out to be a very interesting weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway for a variety of reasons. First, it’s Bristol and crazy things happen here. Also, there’s a chance that we don’t race at all on Sunday because of rain in the forecast. And it’s also difficult to get a read on teams […]

We could see an interesting race here at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend. The Duck Commander 500 will be the first Saturday night race of the 2015 Sprint Cup season and we’re coming off of a bye week due to Easter. Additionally, due to NASCAR’s condensed schedule, the teams all practiced in the heat of […]

Hendricksville Speedway As I mentioned earlier this week, the races here at Martinsville Speedway are typically pretty predictable, and thus easier to handicap. This weekend’s STP 500 is no exception. When you compare my final rankings below to my Pre-Practice Top 20 rankings (linked above), 13 of the top 14 drivers I had going into […]

Atlanta 2.0 Some in the garage area believe that Auto Club Speedway has turned into a 2-mile Atlanta, so good thing we already have some race data to look into this year with the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 a few weeks ago. If you remember back to that race, starting position didn’t matter a whole […]

Time to Double Down This week the Sprint Cup Series stop is at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Unfortunately, gambling with your fantasy NASCAR team rarely pays off when we come to Sin City. For whatever reason, very few sleeper picks come through with the finish here, so expect to see a lot of familiar faces […]

Back to Back? What a start to the 2015 season. First we had youngster Joey Logano take the Daytona 500 crown, possibly solidifying his spot as a top tier Sprint Cup driver and legitimate championship contender. He continued his hot streak into Atlanta by winning the pole on Friday, beating Kevin Harvick by over a […]

Well, the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup season hasn’t even started yet and there’s already more and enough story lines floating around. This will be Jeff Gordon’s final full-time season in the Sprint Cup series before he hands the #24 reigns off to Chase Elliott. Danica Patrick and Denny Hamlin are feuding after two on-track incidents […]

Down to One At Homestead-Miami Speedway, a new NASCAR Sprint Cup champion will be crowned on Sunday evening, and it might not be the guy that makes it to victory lane; in both the Nationwide and Camping World Truck series’ finales, the guy doing the burnouts on TV wasn’t the one who won the race. […]
